EFT Options - Primary File Type Tab

Using a primary bank, field names can be tailored to the bank and optional extra fields can be enabled for Vendors, Customers and Employees.

Primary File Type Tab Fields and Controls

Select the Primary Bank File Type for this company.  It is used to display fields on the EFT Vendor and Customer screens. Vendor and Customer fields can be re-labeled and extra fields enabled as defined in the file format (in the formats.ini or the userformats.ini).

Note: If you can't see certain field labels in EFT Vendors or EFT Customers, it is often because the EFT Primary Bank field is blank on the Primary File Type

  • BSBNumber

  • AccountNumber

  • AccountName

  • PaymentReference

  • You can also turn on 50 extra fields (DestExtra1 to DestExtra50), based on the bank's requirements.

Note: You can also relabel, validate and add Extra fields to EFT Bank by selecting the bank's file type in EFT Banks. Refer to details in EFT Banks Setup Screen

The Primary File Type Tab is also used to enable the Encryption of Bank Details.

The following applies to the Encryption option on EFT Options A/R, A/P and Primary Bank.

  • When the "Encryption" option is ticked, users with "View only" security rights will only view the last 4 digits of the bank details. The audit log for EFT files generated when Encryption is ticked will also show only the last 4 digits of the bank details.

  • You can setup Users in a security group that includes the right to view "Unencrypted Details" (There are separate groups to View Unencrypted Vendor Bank Details, View Unencrypted Customer Bank Details and View Unencrypted Bank Account Details). Refer to Adding Security

  • When the EFT File is generated, the unencrypted values will automatically be inserted in the file.

  • If the Encryption option is selected after you have entered some EFT Customers or Vendors Bank Details, the existing records in EFT Vendors and EFT Customers setup will be encrypted. However, the audit log for files generated before Encryption was selected will not be encrypted. You will need to purge the audit log files if you want to remove all unencrypted data.

Tip: When importing EFT Vendors, EFT Customers and EFT Banks, you should not import the Encrypted Bank Branch and Account number and Credit Card Number fields (fields containing an "X"). These fields should only be set using the associated views, and set to the calculated encrypted value. - EFT Import functionality prevents such fields to be imported.
